Forward-deployed data & AI engineering.One workflow at a time, into production.

We embed senior engineers with your team, take one operational workflow from your existing enterprise data platform to a production AI system in weeks, and hand it over running.

01 // How we work
What forward-deployed means

Not a strategy deck. Not a migration. Not engineers by the hour.

Our senior engineers sit directly with the people who run the workflow, connect the data you already have, build the system, put it into production, and leave you running it.

  • Senior-Led Pods

    Every pod is led by engineers who have designed, built and run enterprise data platforms in production: lakehouse architecture, governance, integration and applied AI. You work directly with the people building your system.

    Hands-on from day one
  • Named Domain Owner

    The customer names the domain owner of the workflow before we start. That person approves outputs, defines success and is in the room at every milestone.

    No owner, no start
  • Handover Without Lock-In

    Every line of pipeline logic, schema declaration, prompt evaluation harness, and documentation lives inside your repositories and runs on your compute.

    No licence to renew
02 // What we build

Three workflows we take to production.

We don’t stop at prototypes. We take high-friction operational processes into production and measure the return against the baseline.

  • Workflow 01Extraction & Decision

    Document-to-decision

    Invoices, claims, KYC files, contracts, compliance filings. Extraction into governed tables, an agent that assembles the case and proposes the decision, human approval with a full audit trail.

    Governed lakehouse schema

    Deterministic validation rules + LLM confidence threshold routing.

    ↓ Shorter
    Straight-through rate
    ↑ Higher
  • Workflow 02Triage & Resolution

    Cross-system exception resolution

    Failed orders, shipments, work orders, payments. Exceptions land in the lakehouse; an agent triages, pulls context from ERP, WMS and CRM, proposes a resolution, and routes anything outside policy to a person.

    Contextual multi-system graph

    Context from ERP, WMS and CRM assembled into one case timeline.

  • Workflow 03Bounded Copilot

    Governed knowledge workflow

    For a support, field-service or compliance team. A governed knowledge layer with access control, an assistant inside the team's own tool that answers, drafts and executes bounded actions — with evals, logging and transparency built in.

    Strict RBAC + continuous evals

    Answers grounded in governed sources, checked by evals on every release.

03 // How it runs

Five stages. Production is the finish line.

Prototype doesn’t count. Running production software does.

Fixed timelines · Fixed Sprint fee
  1. Stage 011–5 days · free

    Exploration Days

    Pick the workflow, capture the baseline, build a working slice where access allows. You leave with a verified baseline metric and a priced Lab proposal.

    Deliverable: priced Lab proposal
  2. Stage 023 weeks · credited

    Workflow Lab

    A working prototype on real customer data, directly in your cloud tenant, with the workflow domain owner actively in the room validating business assertions.

    Credited against sprint fee
  3. Stage 03 · Core8–10 weeks · fixed fee

    Production Sprint

    Integration, model evaluations, human-in-the-loop approval UI, audit logs, operational monitoring, and full handover documentation. Adoption is certified by the domain owner.

    Domain owner certification
  4. Stage 046–12 months · optional

    Expansion Pod

    The dedicated senior engineering pod continues onto adjacent operational workflows, priced on a predictable recurring engineering fee plus verified outcome bonuses.

    Handover: Your Team Runs It

    All code in your repositories, complete operational runbooks in your hands, and your internal engineering teams thoroughly trained and extending what we built.

04 // Why IntegraBricks

True, and checkable.

Every deployment is measured against the baseline taken during the Exploration Days. No vanity metrics.

  • 01 // Independence

    Model-neutral, multi-cloud

    Claude, OpenAI or open-weight models, chosen by evaluation against your data, on Azure, AWS or GCP. No proprietary middle layer.

  • 02 // Compliance

    Evals & audit logs from day one

    EU AI Act transparency duties apply now; high-risk duties apply from December 2027. Evals, logging and human oversight are built in from the first sprint.

  • 03 // Presence

    On site with your team

    Across the Netherlands, and in the Nordics by arrangement — in the room with the people who run the workflow.

Free · On site · Gated

Bring one workflow.
We’ll spend one to five days on it.

Free, on site, and gated: a named workflow, a domain owner who attends, and data access that week. You leave with a measured baseline, a working slice where access allows, and a priced Lab proposal.

Three questions before we book

  1. 1
    The workflow

    Operational, recurring, high-friction, and currently manual or error-prone.

  2. 2
    The domain owner

    The operational leader who knows the edge-cases, attends, and validates outputs.

  3. 3
    The data platform

    Credentials, Lakehouse/Fabric sandbox, and permissions granted for that week.

We book once all three are in place
